Best Catch Driver Comeback

[Meadow Ford]

To a bitchy owner/trainer.
Pompano Park early 70's
Billy Haughton
"Mr. If he had been alright, I would have driven him alright"?

[MIKE CAMPBELL]

Horse kicks Billy O'Donnell out of bike at Meadowlands and starts running loose around the track. Outrider attempts to catch him. Someone says, Hey Billy, do you think the outrider will catch him and Billy say yes, as soon as he passes the 3/4 pole

[MIKE CAMPBELL]

John Campbell drives a horse for Skip Lewis one night at M1. The horse is a notorious knee knocker. Horse as usual whacks his knees the whole mile and finishes tenth. When Campbell pulls horse up, Skip asks Campbell how the horse was and Campbell responds, "He needs a bigger track".

Great quote!!

I have been waiting for someone to post the video of O'Donnell'S  "NO SHIT" comment. After a horse fell in the post parade with him. A Breeders Crown race I think. Maybe Russler Hanover?

As I recall, the race was at Rosecroft Raceway.

[JL52]

I think Roosevelt, no?

Campbell drives one at the meadowlands and the trainer asks how he was after the race and John says i think your at the wrong Big M.

[Lockedin with Pace]

I think Roosevelt, no?

I stand corrected, it was Roosevelt Raceway in 1987, the only year it hosted any Breeder's Crown races.

I put JC up on a trotter at The Meadowland's in a series, he won with him. Told me nicely, not to put him up again "he's not my kind of horse" He was a horse you had to keep in the chute, pulled a ton. He won the next week with a different driver, JC, still not my kind of horse.. I had a nice trotting filly at Vernon, she's on top on the backside and she disappears. down she went. I asked the driver what happened,he saws "Fucked if I know"
